Parking Ban On Agenda At Orono ORONO The town council will meet Monday at 7:30 at the town office to reconvene a public hearing on proposed parking limitations on Forest Avenue. The hearing was continued from last month after residents of the area objected to the limitations. The town had sought to impose the restrictions in the interest of traffic safety, but neighbors claimed the presence of the parked cars was a safety factor, in that it caused moving traffic to slow down. The council will also hear a petition from James Alexander of 49 Broadway, regarding the flat rate sewer use charge. Alexander feels the rate should be lowered.

Under new business, the council will decide whether or not to enter into a 35-year lease with the Orono High School District for land to be used for two tennis courts. The council will also vote whether or not to accept permanent easements for sanitary sewer systems from three families, and will continue discussion on the 1973 budget.

The report shows that the committee traveled over many miles of ice-covered roads in northern Penobscot County, to worth deliver of the goods. more While delivering the goods, the report shows, the committee continued its survey of the rural poor, documenting the living conditions, ages and sizes of children in each household.

Deveau said that the committee is already preparing for the project for next year, and said that toys and clothing can be donated any time during the year. Conflict Spat By MacLeod Is Expected After a short layoff thanks to the flu, Brewer's ever embattled councilman, Robert A.

MacLeod, is expected to return to the fray Monday evening at a regular council meeting when he plans to renew his attacks upon City Solicitor Wayne P. Libhart. MacLeod's loudly proclaimed charge of conflict of interests against the Brewer attorney will be further aired with the introduction of an order asking that a transcript be made of the zoning board of appeals session of this past Nov. 21. Despite MacLeod's authorship, the order will be formally entered by fellow councilor, Joseph R.

Goody. The proposed order asks that the city manager oversee preparation of those portions of the transcript covering variance requests by Pine State Motorcycle Sales and by motelkeeper Charles Grotton. MacLeod charges that Libhart acted improperly in representing the city when the motorcycle firm seeking the variance was normally one of his regular clients. MacLeod claims Libhart's remarks at that session favored his own regular client, but failed to support an almost identical variance request by a local motel. Libhart, for his part, has passed off MacLeod's attack as one of apparent personal animosity, and has said that he will stand on his record, serving at the council's pleasure.

The Brewer city attorney has also expressed satisfaction that the tapes of that zoning appeals session exist, and feels confident that the transcript will demonstrate that he behaved in perfectly ethical fashion in the best interests of the city and only the city. Other matters on the agenda for Monday evening's 7:30 session include acceptance of bids for new police radio equipment; allocation of $247 in matching funds for police radio equipment; and renewal of the five- year contract with SAD (Clifton, Eddington, and Holden). for educating its high texts and materials are supplied free of charge.

Emphasis is on the family and marriage, fundamental needs of children, growth and human development and the correct vocabulary. The course, to be taught by John O'Connor, begins Jan.
